Iceland Airwaves 2020 – First Lineup Announcements

Filed Under: Excited About, Iceland Airwaves — By: Elke Nominikat

While our bodies are still buzzing from the formidable experience Iceland Airwaves 2019 was, Europe’s Best Small Festival Nominee announced its first wave of participating artists today. Internationally known favorites like Courtney Barnett or Black Puma are among the featured artists but also more hidden gems like indie electronic duo Omotrack (Iceland) or Dry Cleaning (U.K.), both glamglare faves. The former we discovered last year and the latter we are looking forward to finally seeing live. And also Júníus Meyvant, who released one of our favorite albums last year but did not participate, will play this time not just one but two shows.

Did you always want to visit Iceland but needed this extra little push? Well, consider yourself being pushed, buy a festival ticket and look for decent airfare and accommodation. Drop us a line if you have any questions and would like to know more. Attending Iceland Airwaves is an incredibly amazing experience like no other!
